Living an observant life is challenging. Without women to look up to, others who have walked before you and paved their own path, it would be downright impossible. Judaism thrives on learning from those who lived before us—having mentors to look up to is essential to achieve what we want in this life. On this page, we’ll be spotlighting some of the most inspiring. These are speakers, entrepreneurs, businesswomen, doctors, mothers, you name it. The goal is to show that being an observant Jew not only doesn’t hold you back from achieving your dreams, but it enhances your journey, making every step more meaningful.
